Why it’s so ludicrous: Like it says on the box, it’s the premier home and travel total security unit for the upper income survivalist, so... Gun porn for the uber-yuppee, basically. Handily, it's also got a cell phone built in – not to mention the microwave, night-vision goggles, alarm, compact disc player, digital radio and camera. Somewhere in there is an actual machine gun too, making it the Swiss Army's favourite imaginary firearm. Probably.
